Reverse description Fortuna Redux seated left on a throne with a high back, wearing a long draped garment, holding a long rudder in her right hand extending downward to the ground and a cornucopia in her left hand. The figure is rendered in the classical style typical of early Hadrianic bronzes, with careful attention to the drapery folds across the lap. The legend FORT RED appears in the lower field above the exergue, with the senatorial authority mark S C placed in the exergue below the throne, and the remaining titulature distributed around the upper and lateral rim.
